ITradeNetwork to link it's Contract and Rebate Management (CaRMA) solution with Integrated Management Solutions' FOOD CONNEX software, improving contract compliance and rebate tracking for small to mid-size foodservice companies

Furlong, PA - Integrated Management Solutions, Inc., announced a relationship to provide an interface between its FOOD CONNEX management software and ITRADENETWORK's Contract and Rebate Management (CaRMA) offering. Through the seamless interface, proof of purchase data will be automatically correlated with contract agreement terms, and the associated rebate information immediately calculated.

Paul Hernandez-Cuebas, president of Integrated Management Solutions, noted the criticality of contract and rebate management to the overall profitability of foodservice companies.

"Our foodservice customers depend on vendor rebates to improve their bottom line profitability," he explained. "By automating the reporting of proof of purchase and sales data, we will help our customers cut inefficiencies out of the process and ensure they receive proper rebates on goods sold. FoodConnex is built on the premise that strategic partnerships are key to a successful business because one company cannot provide everything for their client. We are pleased with the opportunity to work with Stanley Marvel, Inc. and iTradeNetwork, Inc."

"ITN is excited about the roll out of our CaRMA solution with Stanley Marvel, Inc. and Integrated Management Solutions. We believe that our CaRMA products innovative technology will bring significant value and cost savings to operators, distributors, and suppliers of all sizes. ITN will continue to focus on building our reputation as the leading provider of collaborative workflow solutions for the food industry." said Robert Bonavito, Chief Executive Officer of iTradeNetwork.

Lee Marvel, president of Stanley Marvel Foods in Bensalem, PA, explained that tight margins and fast inventory turnover makes tracking sales and order data a critical function for his organization. "Improving our sales volume is only one part of our growth strategy. The other part is accurately tracking that sales information to ensure data reporting back to our trading partners," he said.
